It looks too busy for me.

That's why it's a backing ;-)

The colours work with your DWR ... it is really up to you, as to whether it's what you want or not.
I probably wouldn't choose it myself ... though I'd probably like it if I saw it done up. If you decide not to use it for your backing, what I do see ... is a fabric that'd be perfect for a OBW!! :) So regardless, it's a win-win! |
I think it's great counter to the traditional, predominately off-white front.
I always think of the turn down. It's a lovely surprise. You've got enough off-white empty space on the front. And it picks up all the colors in your rings. |
Maybe different colorways?

The photo makes it look busy next to the top, but since you want to use it for backing only, I think it would be just fine. It does go very well with the colors and fabric prints on the front. A nice solid binding (maybe dark green?) would be perfect.

Although it is probably not a fabric I would have thought to use I think I like the idea of the surprise backing. Depending on the quilting the quilt will be reversible but I am sure that you won't be putting your beautiful DWR face down.

It wouldn't be my first choice to back a double wedding ring but I love the fabric itself!
|
I like it. My only concern would be, will it show through the batting to the front? You've put a lot of work into the top and I think the pattern showing through in the white sections would spoil it for me. Try a section with the batt you want to use and see if it shadows.
